I recently test drove the BMW i8 and was disappointed to find that its electric range was lower than other electric cars on the market. Can you explain why this might be?
ReplyThere are a few reasons why the BMW i8's electric range is lower than other electric cars. First, the i8 is a plug-in hybrid, meaning it has both an electric motor and a gasoline engine. This means that it has a smaller battery capacity than a fully electric car. Additionally, the design of the i8 prioritizes performance over range, so it may have sacrificed some range for a more powerful motor.
Another factor that can affect the i8's electric range is how it is driven. Just like with a gas-powered car, aggressive driving and excessive use of features like air conditioning can decrease its range. I suggest driving in E-Drive mode and using Eco Pro mode to optimize the i8's electric range.
